Just for fun, I asked GPT4 "How to make a Laverda Jota Go Faster", and it came back with this...

The Laverda Jota is a classic Italian motorcycle that was the fastest production bike in the world when it was introduced in 1976¹. It has a 981 cc, DOHC, air-cooled inline triple engine that produces 90 hp at 8000 rpm². To make it faster, you could try some of the following modifications:

- Increase the engine displacement to 1116 cc with larger pistons and cylinders³.
- Install high-lift camshafts and high-compression pistons, as used by the factory's endurance racers².
- Replace the stock exhaust system with a free-flowing one that reduces back pressure and improves performance⁴.
- Adjust the crankpin phasing from 120° to 180°, which gives the engine a more aggressive and uneven firing order⁵.
- Upgrade the electrical system with a more powerful alternator and ignition⁶.
- Improve the handling and stability of the bike with stiffer suspension, better brakes, and lighter wheels⁷.

These are some of the ways you could make your Laverda Jota faster, but be aware that some of them may affect the reliability, legality, and originality of the bike. You should also consult a professional mechanic before making any major changes to your motorcycle.

Done. All of that. Works. 'nough said.
 
Artificial Intelligence Chris.

Kinda like all the qualifications and experience shown on a 25 year olds CV - made up and using/referencing somebody else's effort :-)

Its the latest from the OPenAI guys, which I think is from/under Microsoft.

It sort of reads the entire internet and then groups info into an answer, interesting to see above that it reads this forum (item 9)

 
I guess I don't have to use the Forum and listen to all you ignorant idiots anymore. I will have some robo talking head with access to every dumb asshole in the world telling me the answers to all my problems...even the ones I don't know I have.
 
This dodgy document issue doesn't worry me anywhere like the other AI stuff now here and fast progressing. Copying someone's actual voice or image so you cannot tell it's been generated. Imagine getting a live-time phone call from your partner telling you some cock and bull story with a sinister end result, asking for financial access. That's an actual conversation in real-time, instant responses to your questions. The only way to tell is the sniff test, too good to be true or beyond their typical thought process. Criminals are pretty good at bullshit but add a perfect voice copy. At the moment you can see videos of media personalities doing stuff you know for sure they would never do. They're a bit poor as you can see the mouth movements are not sinked with the sound but it will get flawless soon enough. Video of a loved one doing something completely off the wall, praising some political candidate, saying racist stuff, doing porn of any type. Riding a Ducati even. The days of seeing and hearing is believing are over. It's the perfection of Fake news and that scares me rigid.

Good point. I used the same argument with someone recently regarding electric cars.
Just as well they knew less history than you. Electric was faster, earlier than petrol. Then range considerations struck when petrol cars could run for longer than a few minutes without attention.
